Powder-Distributer, of which the following i is a specification.

This invention has relation to powder distributers and it consists inthe novel con struction and arrangement of its parts as hereinaftershown and described.

The object of the invention is to rovide a distributer for owder and thelil consists of a bel ows upon which is mounted a receptacle for holdingthe powder. A discharge outlet tube which is rectangular in crosssection is attached to the bellows and is located over the air outletthereof. A funnel depends from the said receptacle and bears at itslower end upon the bottom of said tube.

The lower end of the funnel is provided with openings through which thepowder may escape into the-tube. l In the accompanying drawing:Figure 11s an edge elevatlon of the distributer with parts in section. Fig. 2 isa transverse scctional view of the same cut on the line 22 of Fig. 1.

The. distributor consists of the bellows 1 which is provided with theusual valved airinlet 2 and valved air-outlet 3. The inner end of thetube 4 is attached to the bellows 1 and is located over the outlet 3thereof. Said tube 4 is rectangular in cross section and has its longesttransverse axis horizontally disposed. The receptacle 5 is mounted uponrovided witha suitable cover 6. The funne 7 depends from the rcceptacle-5 and passes laterally througL the top side of the tube 4. The lower 131of the said funnel rests upon the lower side of tinsaid tube. The frontand rear sides of the lower end of the funnel 7 are provided with theinverted V-shaped openings 8. The top of the tube 4 is provided with thedownwardly inclined portion 9 which is disposed from-the upper side ofthe bellows 1 toward the lower end of the'funnel 7 and the openings '8and is adapted to deflect the air toward the said openings.

The receptacle 5 isfilled with owder which passes down through the funne7 and enters the tube 4 through the openings 8. As the bellows 1 areoperated a blast of air passes through the outlet 3 and is deflected bythe section 9 of the tube 4 against the lower ends of the funnel 7 andthrough the openings 8. Thus the powder is caught up by the blast and iscarried along with the same and tube 4. Having described my inventionwhat I {claim as new and desire to secure by Letters;

"Patent is 2- 1. A powder distributor obmprising a bellows, a tubeattached thereto, a receptacle mounted upon the bellows, a-funnelattached to the receptacle and entering the tube and having at theopposite sides of its lower end inverted -Vshaped openings which are inalinernent with the outlet of the bellows. r

2. A powder distributor com rising a bellows, a tube attached to the beows and being located over the outlet thereof, said tube having at oneside an inclined section which operates as a deflector for directing theblast from the bellows to the oppositeside of the tube, a receptaclemounted upon the bellows, a funnel attached to the receptacle andentering the tube and having its end resting upon that side of the tubeto which the blast is deflected, said tube having at the opposite sidesof its lower. end openings which are in alincment with the outlet of thebellows.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, 1 have hereto allixcd my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
